BillyG93 154 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Just now, TheQueensEleven said: I'm not. You started a thread about a player who I feel should be nowhere near the squad. He played for Gabala last season and was hopeless there as well. Tav last year was nowhere near as bad as Halliday ?. I'm not going to pretend he's good enough out of sympathy. I never started this thread haha! Tav last year was horrible defensively but this year looks very good, because he is given a chance and plays under good structure of proper footballing tactics. Its not out of sympathy, its looking at the game tonight and congratulating the team without negative shite. We have two other LBs and halliday played well tonight - the team done what was obviously planned pre match. Real Ranger and Vision 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluedoo 2,652 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 He is always going to be the whipping boy of our team, no matter how well he done. I thought he produced a very decent performance on a great night for the whole team. What ever you think of him he seems to be a managers choice kind of player as the only one who's not given him game time was Pedro. Think on this occasion we could give him a break Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he just isnt He’s good enough for the role he plays. Utlitly squad player. Let’s look at what he did right vs. What he did wrong tonight. We didn’t concede and I’m not sure he made a mistake? Put in important tackles, read play well and slowed game down when allowing the ball to go out. Was up to speed with play enough to avoid a booking unlike a lot of other players. Honestly, maybe a couple of misplaced balls but that’s it. Mature performance. I’m not sat here saying he should start every week, I just hate the ridiculous comments on here some times.

To Be A Ranger 4,032 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 He played like Andy Halliday does. One instance in the 1st half he did the old 'I've been shot' routine and fell to the deck but it seemed like he was told to get up and he did so right away. He doesn't read the play as fast as the other guys, doesn't watch the ball a lot of the time, leaves it to other players to deal with etc. But Andy is Andy. We know what he gives. Will probably be our utility man and I hope he does well, but I just hope he doesn't need to play in defence any more. Wish his 'goal' had stood though.

Popular Post SwallowsHisOwnSpunk 7,798 Posted August 16, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 16, 2018 So let’s get this straight Murphy was pure shite tonight, Windass and Foderingham were donkeys, Morelos was utter pish a few weeks ago, Tav was diabolical only a few months ago according to punters on here yet anyone dares to criticise Halliday and it’s out of order because he’s a good bear and is ‘a fine squad player’. This forum is bipolar as fuck can’t anyone have an objective opinion and have a balanced opinion of our players? people suggest Halliday gets a hard time because he’s a Bear that is shite the ONLY reason he isn’t being slaughtered by everyone on this thread is because he is a bear, if Flanagan or Tav had put in the performance he did tonight then they would have been slaughtered. If we win this forum likes like to bury its head in the sand and ignore blatant weaknesses but if we lose the forum likes to go over the top and slaughter players and call them shite. shaka, Rangers_no1, MasterD and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sairheid_bear 166 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 For a guy who's our third choice at left back he did well. A limited player yes, but in a game like that where it's all about running and chasing to close them down he did all that was asked of him.

Because we expect more from them. No one is suggesting halliday was the best player on the pitch, in fact I agree he was probably the worst, but almost everyone expected some kind of major fuck up from him and it didn't happen. Boy deserves praise tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
westenclosure2008 797 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 He put in a shift but lacks the quality and concentration we need if we are to get better. Was caught out of position consistently towards the end but that may have been down to match fitness. If we want to continue to get better I do feel even our squad players need to be a level above Halliday. Can’t question his effort or commitment though.

onefootwillie 1,518 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Gave 100% and you can't ask for any more. He might be needed occasionally during the course of the season but won't be a regular. We are improving the team but you can't expect us to change the full squad in one season.

Not even constructive comments just petulant pish. Thought he played well tonight, they clearly targeted the left but he stood his ground well and battled for every ball. Obviously not our first choice left back but someone who will come in and give 100% when asked. It's fucking pathetic, isn't it? A thread about how a lad performs well in this game and people are sticking the boot in about performances in other games. Fucking wall-to-wall noddies in here at times.

shaka 1,670 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 He made a couple of small mistakes today and seemed to leave things to others to clear but by his standards he actually had a decent game. He's clearly not a left back as he's never in the right position but he made a couple of decent passes forward and won a couple of tackles, which is better than I expected from him.

Bears r us 30,791 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Thought he did OK, he has played very little and coming into that pressure game could not have been easy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
